This one was sitting in drafts waiting for March.
You see, Charlotte Cardin is Canadian. Specifically, she's from Montreal - and sings in both English and French. It's been such a big year for Cardin, though, that it wasn't necessary to wait.
You see, her critically acclaimed 2nd album, 99 Nights, was released in August. It was a hit in the French-speaking world but really should be a hit wider, because Charlotte Cardin is one of the best pop singers on the planet at the moment.
Now, normally, that would be enough of an achievement for an artist. Release an album, go on tour. Not for Charlotte Cardin. She followed this up with an EP in September that was ALSO a hit (admittedly centered around a French version of her hit single "Confetti"). This song is from that EP and it is a pop delight, even though it's mostly in French.
Anyway, this song has been sitting in our drafts for a couple of months, and today seemed like the right day. Enjoy it.
It's a new song, so she has not performed it live, and our loyal YouTube listeners have not gotten a great reording of the song live - despite several stops on a US tour. However, she also performed it live in studio for Basique, on French television.
It sounds a LOT like the studio recording.
OK, OK, fine. Here's a pretty poor recording of the song performed live in Philadelphia. You can see the energy she brings to the song. She goes into another song - "Main Girl", which was her first hit - afterwards.
